Directions

Place the arugula and coarse salt in a food processor and process for a few seconds then add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and process again for a few seconds. Add the cheese and almonds and process adding the remaining olive oil through the feed tube until a pesto sauce consistency is obtained. Stir in the hot pepper flakes.

Cover and refrigerate for future use or transfer to a pasta bowl if cooking the fettucine right away.

Cook the beans and fettucine in 2 quarts of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water and combine the fettucine, beans and water with the pesto; add the raw peas and mix well. Add the tomatoes and mix again. Serve immediately and pass extra cheese on the side.
